"From out of the clear blue of the western sky comes Sky King" was the familiar opening to television's premier aviation program. Operating from his Flying Crown Ranch in Arizona, Sky King, (a WWII naval aviator-turned rancher), his niece Penny and their twin-engine Cessna 310 airplane "Songbird" were constantly involved in one adventure after another. The TV show ran from 1951 to 1962 initially starting out as a children's Saturday morning program before moving to prime time.

Sky King could easily fly through this puzzle.  At 10 locations throughout Delaware and bordering Maryland, you will be able to see a number.  If you see more than a single digit, use the digit that is closest to GZ.
